Two New Bloggers at MOJ

I'm pleased to report that the MOJ crew has signed on two more bloggers:  Professor Richard Stith (Valparaiso) and Professor Eduardo Penalver (Fordham, visiting at Yale). 

Eduardo is a relatively new lawprof, and a rising star in Property theory and land-use law.  He also writes on Catholic Social Thought, and has roots in the Catholic Worker movement.  (I should note that Eduardo will be presenting next month at this conference, on Kelo and takings law, along with the lovely and brilliant Professor Nicole Stelle Garnett). Here are some of Eduardo's papers, available through SSRN. 

Richard is an expert in -- to pick just a few -- bioethics, comparative law, law-and-religion, jurisprudence, and legal history.  He has (at least) five degrees, and has taught around the world.  He is also a leader of, and the energy behind, University Faculty for Life.  (Here is just one of Richard's many essays and articles relating to abortion and the right to life).  He has published (very, very) widely and I look forward to linking to a few dozen of his papers.  To pick just one:  A few years ago, here at Notre Dame, I was moderator for a panel at which Richard presented a wonderful, beautiful paper, "Icons, Law, and Life."  It is a profound reflection on moral anthropology, and on the person as "icon."

Welcome aboard!
